LISTEN: Roscommon priest reflects on 65 years in the clergy

Around 300 people attended a special function in Co Roscommon on Friday evening to celebrate a local priest's two significant milestones.

Monsignor Kevin Flanagan celebrated the 65th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood - as well as his 90th birthday.

They were marked with Mass and entertainment in Kilglass Gaels GAA Centre.

Eoghan Murphy met him this morning, and he first told him about his ordination 65 years ago.
